Maybe tpm_config_parse() should take an Error** parameter instead?
And in vl.c:

-- >8 --
 #ifdef CONFIG_TPM
             case QEMU_OPTION_tpmdev:
-                if (tpm_config_parse(qemu_find_opts("tpmdev"), optarg)
< 0) {
-                    exit(1);
-                }
+                tpm_config_parse(qemu_find_opts("tpmdev"), optarg,
+                                 &error_fatal);
                 break;
 #endif
